"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

BAH! To hell with Infected Mushroom! They've destroyed there once brilliant sound. Ever since they relocated from Israel to LA, they've completely changed their once unique style.

It's really ****ty, just trust me. It has to much of a pop vibe to it. Plus it stinks!

Their first three albums are the best. Especially their first, "The Gathering."
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I am very passionate about psytrance. More than anyone I know. The classics : Xerox, Simon Posford, Sandman, Raja Ram, Infected Mushroom, Eat Static, and many more.
I always thought of Simon Posford (one of my personal heros) as Psy-dub. Isn't trance essentially (boom-ps-boom-ps) techno with psychedelic sounds?

How many names has he had? Hallucinogen, Sphongle, Celtic Cross, Younger Brother? Just fvcking pick one!!!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
